Your Home/Root Directory
Once you logon through FTP, You'll notice the following directories in your account
htdocs/ | This is the root of your website |
cgi-bin/ | This is your CGI program area. This directory actually resides in htdocs/ |
Mail/ | Mail functions configuration directory |
logs/ | Server Logfiles are stored here |
dev/ | System Use Only |
bin/ | System Use Only |
lib32/ | System Use Only |
etc/ | System Use Only |
logs/ For Main Virtual Domain Accounts Only. This is where your server logfiles are kept.
Every evening at midnight PST, your daily log files are archived and compressed
into one .zip file named MMDDYY.zip, according the the month (MM), day (DD),
and year (YY) of the log files that it holds. The .zip method of
compression is widely supported on all platforms. Archived log files are
stored by the server for 5 days and then are purged from the system.
Additionally, every evening a stats.MMDDYY file is created in your logs directory
which contains some vital statistics about your website's accesses for the
last 24 hour period. Yahoo! (www.yahoo.com) has a nice list of
Log
Analysis Tools that you may be able to use to create reports from the
raw datafiles provided with your website.
cgi-bin/ This is the directory where you should put all of your cgi scripts.
Currently we support PERL5 (/usr/local/bin/perl) with the Berkley dB, and
GDBM database modules, and the UNIX shells SH, BASH, and TCSH. A few important
